A Not-So-Cool Rampage Of Appreciation
I’m kinda loving life right now, and I’m proudly, and publicly unapologetic.
Nothin’ special happened.
Maybe it’s the time of year, or a string of good hair days – I’m not sure. All I can tell you is that although it appears as if the entire world has gone to hell in a hand basket…life is good.
And it’s good for you too – really.
Every morning the sun comes up and gives us another chance. Another day to make things right, to make a difference, to love and be loved. I’m sorry. I know it’s not hip to think so; but that’s fucking AWESOME.
Here are just a few of the things that fill me with appreciation.
My health
My hubby (he’s a saint)
I’m at a quandary here, I don’t want to put my beloved dogs before my husband, or after my family…they ARE family, so..
My family (which includes my dogs)
My amazing friends (old and new)
Writing (non-fiction, fiction, essays, the whole caboodle)
My morning walks and hikes with Sally (some of them, the ones that don’t hurt)
Christmas carols (belongs in my Hall of Fame)
Diamonds (they are my best friends)
The fact that I live in Los Angles California, USA.
The fact that I can write this blog without fear of reprisals or repercussions (except maybe occasional embarrassment)
Chocolate (I know it’s high on the list, don’t judge)
Our motorcycle trips
Being inspired (by people, what I read or see or taste or…)
Singing (Karaoke with Orna)
Coffee
The smell of Christmas trees, pine scented anything
Driftwood
Laughing, humor, being silly
False eyelashes (I’m obsessed)
Airplane travel – all travel really
Red nail polish, well…all nail polish
Movies (at the theatre, I love the surround sound and the big screen)
Rainy days
Fires in the fireplace
Hummingbird nests
The color blue
Peanut butter (chunky of course)
Lazy Sunday afternoons reading (just a memory these days)
My garden (nature in general)
White twinkle lights
Tears of joy
The smell in the house on Thanksgiving or any time Raphael cooks
I’d love you to share some of yours! Come on! Be as un-cool as me!
